Re: love songs

Hi Kaitie,

  There are a few out there, but most of the tunes that I can think of off hand are written from the male perspective, and likely in the wrong key.  I suppose with a capo and some minor lyric adaptations you could find a nice selection.  Check out the Public Books tab at the top of this page and browse a few.

Good Hunting and have fun!

Re: love songs

Some good advice from Doug, as is usual, some lady love songs I know and that are easy to play are Pat Benatars "We Belong" the Seekers "I'll never find another you", you can go back to "Will you still love me tomorrow" a Carol King tune done by the Shirelles, there are tons, but Doug is right, sometimes its just a matter of changing she's to he's, I do Ronstadt's "Different drum" but I do the Mike Nesmith (the guy who wrote it) version which is from a guys perspective, not a great love song, as it is talking about leaving, but an example of what I'm talking about, I do several girl songs, I just do the he/she thing and they usually work..........................keep on..........justasinger54

Re: love songs

Hi Kaitie, Welcome to the Chordie Forum smile

These are links to the song Stay Awhile written and performed by Ken Tobias but was made a big hit by the Bells. Chordie doesn't have it listed but I believe the chords are D Bm G A. It is a simple and beautiful song that should help your sister out.

Doug is right about songs written from the male perspective. This was written from the male perspective but transcribed to female/male for the Bells version. Maybe your sister could do this for other songs written from the guys point of view.
Enjoy

Kenny

Re: love songs

If I Should Fall Behind by Bruce Springsteen.  Very easy to play.
